Purify, rebalance, reconnect
A retreat in the rainforest of Mount Batukaru
Selemadeg · Tabanan · Bali
Tri Hita Karana
Harmony between people, nature and spirit
On the southern slope of Mount Batukaru, eight villas lie within two hectares of protected rainforest and plantation. Here, each day follows Tri Hita Karana, the Balinese way of harmony between people, nature and the spirit.
Over the course of your stay, the retreat moves gently from release, to balance, to reconnection. Yoga, meditation, Balinese water purification and Ayurveda shape each day; between them, there is time for the river, the forest and rest.
Your villa, every meal and the journey to and from the airport are arranged. Each session is guided personally, and the length of your retreat is shaped around you.
Intention, purification and release.
Breath, vitality and care for the body.
Stillness, integration and gratitude.
>The sanctuary
Alassari rests on the southern slope of Mount Batukaru. To the south, the land falls away across the island towards Jimbaran Bay; beside it lies the largest stretch of protected forest on Bali.
Paths wind through bamboo and past small shrines to a waterfall and a spring-fed river pool on the Sacred River. The kitchen draws on an organic garden and on coffee trees more than a century old.
Panca Maha Bhuta
In Balinese and Ayurvedic thought, the body and the world are made of the same five elements. Five of Alassari’s villas bear their names, and the retreat passes through each in turn.
Paths through the rice terraces and the forest.
Melukat, the Balinese water purification, and the Sacred River.
Yoga to cleanse and balance, and agni, the digestive fire of Ayurveda.
Pranayama at first light; the breath beneath every practice.
Sound, meditation and the silence after dark.
